AJC/Seattle's Annual Cultural Gem of the Community!!! This Year's Jewish Film Festival "BUILDING BRIDGES" Series

AJC/SJFF "BUILDING BRIDGES" FESTIVAL LAUNCHES MARCH 3
RUNS MARCH 12 - 20

Rav Nachman of Breslev's (1772-1810) famously said: "All the world is a narrow bridge, and the main thing is not to be afraid."

Shining a bright light on the cultural, ethnic, religious and demographic diversity, this year's Festival introduces the AJC BRIDGE SERIES - four (4) incredible films that explore AJC's bridge-building mission through film, musical performance and in vibrant discussion with critically acclaimed filmmakers, journalists, scholars and AJC experts in intergroup, interfaith and intercultural affairs.

In this sense, navigating a narrow bridge means the ability to both partner - link arms in the same direction - as well as make or give way to others crossing your path. Dialogue not fear is the foundation for mutual understanding.

Make way 520 - Seattle bridges will widen!
Come join us and be part of the dialogue!

Pamela Lavitt: Festival Director
Festival Co-chairs: Wendy Kaplan & David Brumer
